Tony heard two bells at the end of the frantic round which gives you an idea of how rough things bad become for him. Almost a Kayo Only a knockout could have giv en Ray, a 13-5 underdog, the win at that final stage. Sonny almost made it. Midway in the round. the 5-11 Chicagoan staggered his 6-1 opponent with a left and right to the jaw. Tony was dazed but he managed to nang on. seconds lat er he was firing back. Then Ray again nailed Tony with a left and right to the jaw. An thony dropped his hands and turn ed his back at Ray. Sonny stood there perplexed for a moment and then started after his foe again. But the final bell sounded before he could punch. Saved by Bell "1 thought the bell had sounded when I turned away from him," said Anthony. "Lucky for me the bell did sound right quick." .

Bradley After NIT Top Honor NEW YORK (AP) Bradley went after its second National In vitation Tournament championship in three years today when the Peoria Braves met St. John's of New York. For their part, the Redmen were trying for an un precedented third NIT title. The experts rated the Madison Square Garden game, climax of the 22nd annual post-season bas ketball classic, a pick 'em affair. The game will be televised na tionally by NBC starting at 4 p.m. (EST). And the rival coaches, Chuck Orsborn of Bradley and Joe Lap chick of St. John's, were extreme ly wary of each other. Bradley whipped St. John's 71-66 early in the season, but both coaches tended to discount that re sult. THREE-WAY TIB ST. PETERSBURGH. Fla.

(AP) The loss of tubercular victim Red Schoendienst has cut the National League champion Milwaukee Braves down to size. Manager Fred Haney won't ad mit it but there is no doubt he is anxious about the second base problem. Losing Schoendienst is bad enough but the situation has be come, desperate with the almost certain inavailability of Mel Roach the redhead's understudy. Roach, who was laid low by a knee injury last August, has been ordered not to take strenuous work outs until April 10 the day the Braves open the National League season. Count on Rookie The Braves are counting on rookie Chuck Cottier, who batted .269 at Atlanta last year but has been compared with the spectac ular Bill Mazeroski of the Pitts burgh Pirates as a defensive play er. I'm not worried about second base half as much as 1 am worried , about the catching," said Haney. "I've got three catchers but should something happen to Del Crandall, we'd be in a bad way. Del Rice and Joe Lonnett are all right as second string, but neither can do the job on a regular basis. "My infield problem isn't as acute as some think. Cottier makes the plays all right. The only question concerns his hit ting." Despite Haney's surface opti mism, the second base situation still is up in the air. The Braves' strength is their Ditching, of course. Even Hanev acknowledged he has more start- ers than he can use. "Then I've got a couple of good looking rookies in Bob Hartman (20-10 at Atlanta) and Gerry Nel son (10-11 at Austin)," he said. "And don't forget Don MacMahon, H limber to Robinson and Bob Trowbridge in the bullpen." Haney's big seven consists of , Warren Spahn (23-11), Lew Bur dette (20-10), Bob Rush (10-6), Carleton Willev (9-7), Joey Jav (7-5), Bob Buhl (5-2) and Juan Pizzaro (6-4).

Yardley Hurt In Workout SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP)-An in. jury to George Yardley, their high-scoring forward, dampened the hopes of the Syracuse Nation als as they prepared to meet the Boston Celtics in the second game of the National Basketball Assn.'s Eastern playoffs. Yardley, who scored 30 points in Rnstnn'a nnpnina-pgmp vielnrv Wednesday, sprained an ankle in Friday's workout. But Syracuse Coach Paul Sevmour said "we think he'U be all right." Yardley has been used as a first replacement since he joined the Syracuse club a month ago, but Seymour thinks that by team ing up with Dolph Schayes at the start he may give the Boston de fense some added trouble. Boston is at full strength, but Syracuse, in addition to doubts about Yardley, will be unable to use George Dempsey, back-court reserve, because of a bruised right leg. This first home game in the se ries for the Nats is regarded as the key contest. If the Nats can win this, they believe they can extend the series, possibly to the seven-game limit. If they lose, and I with the scene shifting to Boston j Sunday afternoon, there'll be little j hope for the Syracuse club. Ring Record manv 191W ninth round. MELBOURNE Willie Vaughn. 162'5.

For Franklin, the second place team in the tough Portland League, tonight's title game will be the second time in four years the Quakers have reached the championship finals. The last time, In 1956, Franklin vaulted to the title over Medford behind 6-9 Bjarne Jonsnn. This time, Franklin also has a big man, 6-7 Jerry Bergstrom. Little Man Hero But the hero of Franklin's Fri day night game was a relatively little player, the 5-11, 152-pound Fawcett who spun in the winning basket. Franklin had built up a 22-15 lead by halftime, but it melted as the shorter Pendleton squad regained its form. And by the time only two min utes, remained in the game, Pen dleton led 46-41. However, two field goals by Steve Jones and a pair of free throws by Bergstrom eased Frankjin ahead narrowly, 47-46. Pendleton's Ladd Horn counter ed, though and the Eastern Ore gon squad led 48-47 with 36 sec onds remaining. A crucial jump ball then occur red. Franklin got possession, tried a shot, missed, and then Fawcett took over. Both teams had good percent ages. Franklin hit 16 of 48 for .333, and Pendleton sank 13 of 41 for .317. Pendleton was uncanny at the free throw line, sinking 22 of 29. 'Pretty Good Horse' ' "The fouls were killing us," Franklin's coach, Don Peterson, said after the game.1 But when asked about Frank lin's chances for another title, Peterson smiled and said: "I think we're carrying a pretty good horse."

The biggest tournout of the tourney is expected tonight for the title clash. And Pendleton coach Dale War burg thinks Marshfield will win that game. "We gave Franklin all kinds of trouble, and we're not a great team," he said. "Franklin has a 6-7 man and we handled him okay. Marshfield has a 6-9 man, and I think he'll be the difference." Warburg said "I've only got praise for my kids." And he add ed:s "The last shot. Franklin got it, and wa didn't." LET TIME DO ITS WORST ...YOU'LL STILL LOOK YOUR BEST!
